Fancy Pants

Lux presents Hollywood. Leeper Brothers Company, the makers of Lux Toilet Soap, bring you the Lux Radio Theatre, starring Bob Hope and Lucille Ball in Fancy Pants. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Keeling. From Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen, one of man's greatest gifts is that of laughter, particularly the talent for making other people laugh.

Tonight as our stars, we are fortunate enough to have two clowns. First, the unpredictable Mr. Robert Hope, and second, and by far the prettier the two, Miss Lucille Ball. We will present this extraordinary team in their Paramount Picture riot, Fancy Pants.

Now Fancy Pants was adapted from the novel, Robles of Red Gap by Harry Leon Wilson, and is a perfect vehicle for the talents of our versatile comedian, Bob Hope, and glamorous comedian Lucille Ball. You know I think the glamorous comedian is here to stay.

No longer do our feminine comics wear fronty clothes and funny make-ups. They're chic, well-gruned, and just like our luxe girls, they guard their beauty with luxe toilet soap, which they know assures them the very best in complexion care.

Now, Fancy Man, starring Bob Hope as Humphrey and Lucille Ball as Aggie. The 1900 and five. And out in the countryside, a third-rate group of actors has just concluded another dismal performance. We're backstage now, and the cast is on its usual topic of discussion.

That brilliant actor Humphrey the butler. I don't know where he came to be. I can't stand anymore. I was at bluntering Monster Humphrey leaves the show or I leave it. My dear women now don't blame me.

I'm only the stage manager. What's the use? We're not even making expenses. I suggest we all leave the cast and go home. Humphrey, I'll never go home. I know he won't. It's an American plot, I tell you, to ruin the entire British theatre.
